Tamiya 1/48 Raiden J2M3 - Final Reveal
Tamiya 1/48 Raiden J2M3 - Final Reveal
Final reveal on the Tamiya 1/48 Raiden J2M3 originally released in 1973. Overall a nice recommended kit for about $15 shipped from various eBay sellers. The Hasegawa offering from the 1990s is more detailed but also twice the cost. Went together well with minimal fit issues; even the decals laid down well. The instrument panel and radio could have use some scratch building enhancements. Enjoy the photos, thanks for looking!

Saw on your recent update, you now have plenty of Japanese WW2 aircraft, and then some to fill your stash!
